Favourite bass lead ever. Andy Fraser picks up the band and carries the whole thing on his shoulders. Such fucking power and... grace.
I also find it sad how the people that usually filmed them had no idea what was happening (the way they keep filming Kossoff even though he's not doing the lead)

I had to play that tune for a friends audition many years ago. I was utterly hungover, on about an hours sleep playing that tune at 9.15am
wasn't great

Gov't Mule - Don't Step on the Grass Sam from the Live at Roseland album. Allen Woody on bass. It has a fantastic hook.

We’re waaay too deep into this thread to not have had “I want you back” by the Jackson 5! (Incredible bass by Wilton Felder)

Tony Levin on Peter Gabriel “Don’t give up” is a nice one too
